A Star Is Born to Be Re-Released with 12 Minutes of Additional Footage

Here’s some great news to soothe a weary nation: A Star Is Born will soon be re-released with 12 minutes of added footage. And by “soon,” I mean on Friday. Given certain exhausting events this week, this announcement could not have come soon enough.

For one week, audiences will be able to revisit (or, for those living under a rock, visit) the gut-wrenching romance between Lady Gaga’s Ally and Bradley Cooper’s Jackson “Jack” Maine. The brief new cinematic run comes in celebration of the former’s best-original-song Oscar win, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The film’s first release grossed more than $425 million worldwide.

In addition to its win at the Oscars, Gaga and Cooper’s sultry performance of “Shallow” reminded fans how deeply the film’s doomed romance spoke to their souls. Unfortunately, we should probably note that these 12 minutes of additional footage do not, in fact, simply depict the film’s stars staring lovingly into one another’s eyes.
